About this file
This is a Sample Collection and Preservation Table supporting a comprehensive technical assistance contract opportunity issued by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). The table establishes standardized protocols for inorganic water quality testing, specifically detailing collection and preservation requirements for analytes including alkalinity and ammonia from both potable and non-potable water matrices. The document specifies sample containers (1-liter cubitainers, 500-milliliter plastic containers, and brown plastic bottles), preservation methods, shipping conditions, and holding times to ensure analytical integrity. Proposals for the master contract are due January 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, with the contract term running from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031. This opportunity targets regent institutions and non-profit organizations seeking to provide eleven distinct service categories including environmental and laboratory services, project management, training, strategic planning, and quality improvement.
Qualified vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of continuous active industry participation and provide three references from organizations that have purchased similar services within the past five years. Pricing will be determined on a task order basis using hourly rates, not-to-exceed fixed prices, or deliverables-based compensation, with successful contractors placed on a Qualified Vendor List (QVL). Mandatory submissions include current Kansas Tax Clearance Certificates, I-9 Certification forms, Boycott of Israel, Sexual Harassment, and Immigration Reform compliance documentation. For Medicaid-specific projects, indirect rates are limited to the Federal Cognizant Agency-approved rate or a de minimus rate of 10%. Bidder preference categories are available for Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses and Certified Businesses with required supporting documentation. Payment terms are set at Net 30 days, and clarification questions must be submitted by December 22, 2025. No guaranteed minimum work volume is specified under this master contract arrangement.
